Induction Annealing Brass Contact

Description

Induction Annealing Brass Contact For Crimping With RF Heating System

Objective To anneal a small area of an electrical contact for crimping
Material Brass female spade electrical contact with single transverseย loop at end 0.5โ€(12.7mm) long, 0.25โ€ (6.3mm) wide and 0.03โ€ย (0.8mm) thick, 1000ยบF (538ยบC)heat paint
Temperature 1000ยบF (538ยบC)
Frequency 310 kHz
Equipment โ€ข DW-UHF-10kW induction heating system, equipped with aย remote workhead containing two 1.0ฮผF capacitors for aย total of 0.5 ฮผF

induction annealing brass contact
โ€ข An induction heating coil designed and developedย specifically for this application.
Process A one turn hairpin coil is used to heat the electrical contact toย 1000ยบF (538ยบC) in 1.5 seconds. The contacts are in strips atย 0.75โ€ (19mm) centers and will run continuously at a rate of 50โ€™ย (15.24m) per minute.
Results/Benefits Induction heating provides:
โ€ข Hands-free heating that involves no operator skill forย manufacturing
โ€ข Pinpoint accuracy
โ€ข Consistent results
